“‘Everyone should have a gullwing”’ Everyone with a spare million £ I think you mean

The buyer go a bargain, a 300 SL Gullwing is the cornerstone of every serious car collection.

Not one American car that beat a European car ..

That color is incredible

[@johnfarina6155]

The seller got hosed on this one. Must have been some collusion involved.

If you were to ask Wayne Carini how Rodger Barr is doing, his answer would be....Who??

[@kevinpantera4429]

Hmm. These usually go for 1m+. Mkt seems like it is slowing down a bit. The frothyness is being seen now. Mkt oversupplied with cars. Nice car.

Looking back now here in 2023, That was a steal!

I saw one of these bad boys only one time in the flesh! It was a sight to behold.

[@jamesmatheson5115]

How long ago did it sell, I thought it was cheap at the price. The color I thought was a let down, it should have sold for more, but when the buyer has to pay a premium then thats what happens.

Dunkelblau 904 - best Mercedes colour!

[@cutdepiefails6596]

Good price for the buyer. Good price for the seller given the shoddy restoration.

[@andyleo8418]

Shoddy? Gooding said it was one of the best he's seen.

[@andyleo8418]

cedes should put a tool kit in the cars they build now!

[@Stretch_Armstrong666]

My dream Benz. It’s like a vintage wine mixed with early playboy models and time capsuled for all to understand you can’t beat old school no matter how much money you spend or super cars you have.

[@nadk8886]
